I really wish for Booklore to be added to Cloudron. It is mature enough and i think there is docker deployment already.
-
Just realised that Booklore was discontinued. There was certain problem with its development. They are now creating a new fork and call it Grimmory.
-
Although I am struggling to find more information about what exactly happened with Booklore.
It seems that, at one point, the Github repo was pulled entirely, but it is now back online, with the latest commit and release just over 2 weeks ago at the time of writing.
So it still seems active, on the surface at least. -
@teiluj Me too. I just realized it few days ago when I wanted to test it in my server. I heard (based on my quick searching) that there is some problem with development practices and disagreements between contributors. So they made it offline and some parts of the community is now continuing its legacy.
Btw, thanks that you made a new thread for Grimmory.
